Wars of Castro
The Wars of Castro describe a series of events in the mid-
seventeenth century
revolving around the ancient city of
Castro
(located in present-day
Lazio
,
Italy
), which eventually resulted in the city's destruction on
September 2
, 1649. The conflict was a result of a power struggle between the papacy — represented by members of two deeply entrenched Roman families, the
Barberini
Pope Urban VIII
and then the
Pamphili
Pope Innocent X
— and the
Farnese dukes of Parma
, who controlled Castro and its surrounding territories.
